Ponderal Effect due to Alkyl Substitution on Physical Constants of Alcohols-A Quantitative Correlation

Abstract

The parameter of ponderal substituent effect, log (1/μ), has been shown
to give good linear correlations with functions of various physical constants
for alcohols of normal series. The functions, in all cases, apparently represent
hydrogen-bond strength under the different circumstances of different
physical processes. The correlation is therefore suggested to be of
ponderal effect on H-bonding.
